Confederate citizens, specifically those who fought for the Confederacy during the American Civil War, were initially stripped of their citizenship rights after the war. However, the process of regaining citizenship generally involved a formal oath of allegiance to the United States, which was facilitated by the Reconstruction Acts. Over time, various acts of Congress, such as the Amnesty Act of 1872, restored citizenship to many former Confederates, allowing them to participate fully in civic life again. Ultimately, the reconciliation and reintegration efforts helped to mend the national divide and restore citizenship rights.
